Why throwaway? This is a good take.

Wrong analogy. You’re describing theft. It’s More like, my neighbor planted an apple tree in their yard and told me, “this is your tree. You can pick any fruits off of it, anytime …

I understand the premise fine. I’m just saying it’s an unrealistic expectation. For example, “should continue working exactly like it did” sounds nice, but what happens when the co…

Yes. But it’s also useless if they go out of business period. I know, I know, opensource it in the event of bankruptcy and continue receiving security updates and what not. But whe…

I’ve been pondering for a while why Google never tried to acquire PayPal, and/or perhaps most importantly Venmo (which is part of it). With Android & Chrome being the platforms tha…

I’ve personally stopped reading NYT specifically because of this editorializing vs just reporting issue. It’s really frustrating to see in individual articles; in the greater schem…

I share most of your skepticism. Do you know if they’ve published a technical paper on any of the numbers?

It’s also unlikely they will pay for expensive sensors unless it directly impacts them :)

If the algo disqualifies them with no nuance, great, that means there’s probably a market for those who do want to take the time to understand the actual risk profile of a tenant. …

Maybe because it presents a false dichotomy where one’s desire to profit from an asset must also accommodate those unable to afford it?

Well that was the gist of my last sentence regarding not letting external Big Tech behave like current Big Tech. ps: fwiw, I’m against breaking up BigTech. It makes for good headli…

I think it’s a somewhat false dichotomy that splitting up US big tech makes China big tech win. The reason being that splitting up US big tech allow for more competitive US mid tec…

The (possible) irony is that ClubHouse uses Agora behind the scenes to power its real-time audio. that’s a Chinese company based in Mainland China. I’d be careful if I was them. Th…

Not so fast. China managing 1st place isn’t a foregone conclusion. Ill blame those pesky demographic trends first.

I can confirm most of this story. It has been years since I’ve been able to get a quick burrito at La Taqueria. Mi Yucatan, half a block away, isn’t plugged into the system so you …

Welp. This is what I come to HN for.

Do provide a write up when you can.

I’d like to know this too please :)

Yeah I agree that most in China don’t think much of it (or often don’t even realize censorship is happening on their exchanges). But it’s still tragic. And I’m happy to see Silicon…

We are not judging the validity of the claim from the claim alone. We are doing so from the pattern of behaviors around it by the CCP and how those patterns correlate to priors we’…
